Dear School and District Leaders,

This summer our highest priority for students is promoting and supporting their mental health and well-being and providing learning opportunities grounded in student interests that can re-spark engagement, foster learning, and nourish in-person connections. The Summer Learning Best Practice Guide is designed to help districts as they develop a variety of summer programming; its aim is to offer ideas and resources to help meet the urgency of this moment.

To address summer programming House Bill 5042A authorizes the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) to make available $195.6 million General Fund and $10 million Federal Funds in grant funding to participating school districts and public charter schools for academic summer school to support high school students facing academic credit loss, summer enrichment programs, and wrap-around child care. All school districts and public charter schools are encouraged to apply for these non-competitive grants.

The Grant Application for Summer Learning Programs is now available on the Summer Learning Grants webpage.
